Dale Cox

Dale Cox is a Southern writer and historian based in the quaint little community of Two Egg, Florida. He is the author of nineteen books, including his acclaimed study of the Fort at Prospect Bluff. Published in 2020, "The Fort at Prospect Bluff: The British Post on the Apalachicola & The Battle of Negro Fort" is the most detailed account ever written of the largest free Black settlement in North America and the deadly U.S. cannon shot that ended its existence. Cox's noted Civil War study - "The Battle of Marianna, Florida" - was named best in its category by Civil War Books & Authors. His studies of the Creek and Seminole Wars in Florida, Georgia and Alabama, including "Milly Francis: The Life & Times of the Creek Pocahontas" and "Fowltown: Neamathla, Tutalosi Talofa & the First Battle of the Seminole Wars," break new ground in Southeastern Native American scholarship.

Cox divides his time between the quaint community of Two Egg, Florida and the growing area of Dothan, Alabama. He is married with two grown children and supports a number of historic preservation causes.
